By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by American landscape painter Patricia Duncan (born 1955 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota).

Patricia Duncan is a representational pastel and oil painter. Growing up on the prairies of South Dakota, her interest for drawing and painting was sparked from a very early age. Currently living part time in the beautiful St. Croix Valley of Northwest Wisconsin and surrounded by lakes and Wisconsin farmland, this place continues to nurture her love for the outdoors and is a continual source of inspiration.

 

With the opportunity to live abroad in London, England and her extensive travel to various parts of the world, these opportunities have provided many subjects to draw from for inspiration. She is particularly drawn to cultural diversity when picking her subject matter. Patricia prefers painting natural landscapes, people, animals, architecture, and still life.

 

With Patricia's interest in art since childhood, to further her education in the arts, she pursued a fine arts degree at the University of Utah in the performing art division of ballet. Through these experiences, her passion and desire to continue to develop her artistic endeavors grew stronger. After raising five children, her life long dream is being realized to pursue her art. She has participated in classes and workshops taught by nationally and internationally- recognized and known artists. Patricia continues to train extensively under Plein Aire Painters of America signature artist, Joseph Paquet and portrait/still life artist Jeff Hurinenko. Her desire to refine her drawing and painting skills is evident to her commitment to artistic growth.

Patricia is an Associate Member of the Pastel Society of America and an Associate Member of Oil Painters of America. Locally, she is a Member of the Lake Country Pastel Society, Past President for 2013 and 2014, current Treasurer of Lake Country Pastel Society. She is also a Member of the Outdoor Painters of Minnesota and the Minesota Artists Association.

Currently, Patricia's work is exhibited at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, the St. Benedictine Monastery, and an International Show, "Arts in Harmony" in Elk River, MN, where she won a holiday First Place award for the Multimedia Artboard.
